Fresh.
Embrace the new.
Let's begin our mindful moment for January.
Take a moment to settle in right here,
Right now.
Allow yourself to arrive completely in the space.
Take a collective slow breath in and a gentle breath out together.
Our mindful motivation today is fresh.
The simple act of embracing a new start.
Gently close your eyes or soften your gaze.
Feel your breath moving naturally.
It is your anchor.
Now imagine you are stepping outside on a cool crisp morning.
Sense the cool air on your skin.
With every inhale,
Feel the air around you.
With every exhale,
Gently release any thoughts or burdens from yesterday.
With every inhale,
Take in the clean fresh sense of now.
With every exhale,
Gently release anything that's holding you back.
Breathe into this clean state.
This focus is a resource you can return to anytime you need to let go of the past.
As you hold this quiet freshness,
Here is a reflection.
Choose the option that feels most relevant to your week ahead.
This week,
Where will you intentionally apply fresh?
A.
In a sensory moment like washing your face or feeling the clean water on your skin.
B.
In an emotional moment like letting go of a past mistake and beginning the task again without judgment.
Hold your chosen intention gently.
Take a deep breath in,
Gathering the focus we have cultivated and a slow releasing breath out,
Ready to carry this into the rest of your day.
And as you step forward,
Remember you are clear and you are fresh.
